Blackburn Rovers head coach Valerien Ismael believes his side are finally into their stride following their win at Bristol City.

The 1-0 triumph was the club's third successive victory, coming on the back of wins against Southampton and Leicester City.

"Another forceful performance away and another clean sheet which is good for the confidence after Leicester," Ismael told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We knew the performances were right from the beginning of the season without getting the reward, now we are picking up points so the picture is right."

It leaves Blackburn seven points clear of the Championship relegation zone ahead of Saturday's lunchtime game against Derby County.
